AI is not only software-based but also transforms the way we create software. Tools like GitHub Copilot affect the processes of building, testing, and delivering software. This workstream aims to examine how AI can and should influence software engineering – including its effects on developers, how it improves developer efficiency, how it can assist in keeping software safe, and what the potential risks are.
